Smart, Starmobile Offer Play Click Smartphone with Free Data for a Year

Did not have the chance to buy the Smart and MyPhone's promotional My28S smartphone? Perhaps not this time around anymore with this new device that was just launched in partnership by Smart Communications and Starmobile, two of the well-known tech companies in the Philippines. The device in spot light is the Starmobile Play Click, and it specs are higher than the My28S and still for a very affordable price sticker.

It was a couple of weeks ago when I first heard about this new Starmobile smartphone and never had an idea that it would be launched in the Philippines in collaboration with the leading telecom company, Smart. Back then, the official suggested retail price was Php2,690. But with the recent update, Starmobile and Smart are going to offer this phone for just Php1,288 with a number of perks coming from Smart good for one year.

"With this partnership, Smart bolsters its thrust to bring the smartphone in the hands of every Filipino by offering feature-rich handsets at a very affordable price," said Katrina Luna-Abelarde, First Vice President and Smart Wireless Consumer Operations Head. "This is our way of breaking the barriers for many of our fellowmen to enjoying a much richer mobile experience."

"While we are already very proud of what the PLAY Click can do, we wanted to sweeten the deal even further for our customers," said Michael Chen, Starmobile Product Development Head. "This partnership with Smart further adds value to the already value-packed Play Click."

So what are the perks? If you buy one, you will get FREE DATA for one year right out of the box, and that's going to be 100MB of data allowance per month for one whole year. Also, for every at least Php100 accumulated load in a month you will get load rebates worth Php30 for 12 months as well.
